SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,116, dated July 15, 1884;

Application filed January 14, 1884. (No specimens.) I

I all, whom 't't may concern:

Be it known that I, JEAN. BAP'rIsr ALoIs DE WINTER, a subject of Belgium, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Healing-Plasters for Corns and for other Purposes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to the compound of which the plaster is composed, and also to a means for applying the same.

The invention consists in a novel combination of ingredients,whereby an efficient plaster is produced.

In carrying out my invention the plaster is prepared according to the following formula: 1

cloves to make a paste. Oannabis indica is placed in a mortar, and the take one ounce of solid extract of Cannabis indica and saturate it with a-sufficientquantity of nitric acid. I then add five ounces of salicylic acid and then add a sufficient quantity of oil of The solid extract of nitric acid is poured on it, and the two are Stir red with a spatula until throughly mixed and the Cannabis indica is saturated with the nitric acid. It is then dried in a close vessel, after which the mass, which is of a reddish-brown color, is reduced to powder and is mixed with salicylic acid in the proportion of five drains of acid to one dram of the powder. When thoroughly mixed,a sufficient quantity of oil of cloves is added to make a stiff paste, which is .then spread upon a sheet of muslin, linen, or

over which the composition may be spread by a spatula, so as to pass through the holes and adhere to the material, so that a number of such pieces of the material may be coated simultaneously; or thematerial may be placed under the perforated plate, the composition spread thereon, so as to pass into the holes af= terward and onto the material, and the piecesmode of carrying out this part of my invention, Figure 1 being a face view of a plaster and a carrier, and Fig. 2 a sectional View of the same.

A designates the plaster, prepared as above described and cut in asuitable shape, which is here represented as circular.

B is the carrier, which is made of linen, muslin, paper, or any other suitable material.

It is also made in any suitable shape which will facilitate its application. As here shown,

it is in the form of a multi-pointed star, or

the form represented by a daisy, in which I) would designate the petals of the flower. These points or petals b are covered with a suitable adhesive substance, 0, which on being moistened will cause the plaster to adhere to the part to which it is applied and hold it there until its work is accomplished. By this construction facility is at't'orded for applying the plaster to any desired part-as, for example, to a: joint or other portion of the body where flexibilty is desired. 7

What I claim is as follows- The within-described composition for healing purposes, composed of Cannabis indica, nitric acid, salicylic acid, and oil of cloves, prepared in the proportions substantially as set forth.

I11 testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. JEAN BAPTIST At'o'is DE WINTER.
